The line began its landmark Chicago-to-Rock Island route in the 1850s, later becoming a major system known for the Rock Island Line, Rocket streamliners, and The Rock rebrand. It is a small but meaningful piece for a home bar, office, train room, or collector display, made for people who enjoy the enduring story of American railroads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad was a Class I American railroad best known as the Rock Island Line and, late in its history, The Rock. Its roots reached to the Rock Island and La Salle Railroad, incorporated in Illinois on February 27, 1847. Construction began in Chicago in 1851, and the line reached Rock Island on February 22, 1854, creating the first rail connection between Chicago and the Mississippi River. The company acquired the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad in 1866 to form the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company. At its 1970 extent, the system operated 7,183 route miles across much of the Midwest, Plains and Southwest. Its passenger identity included Rocket streamliners, introduced with diesel power in 1937, and the jointly operated Golden State service with Southern Pacific. A proposed Union Pacific merger begun in 1964 collapsed in 1974. Following bankruptcy and a final rebranding as The Rock, operations ended in 1980. The corporate name later became Chicago Pacific Corporation, acquired Hoover, and was acquired by Maytag in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeramic coaster engraved with a simple, vintage-style wordmark that brings a quiet, archival charm to a coffee table or office desk. The cool ceramic top takes heat and condensation with calm confidence while the cork backing keeps cups steady and surfaces safe. It sits easily beside a well-loved mug during long work sessions or late-night reading, a small, steady surface that feels both practical and quietly nostalgic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable white ceramic surface resists heat and moisture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Non-slip cork backing prevents sliding and protects surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in round (4.06\") and square (3.94\") sizes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Easy to wipe clean — suitable for hot and cold drinks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Made in South Korea with ceramic and cork materials\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\\\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSquare\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.06\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.94\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.06\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.94\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings, Hazard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Made in South Korea, For adults\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"Round \/ One size","offer_id":54583199334684,"sku":"16588615922978579866","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Square \/ One size","offer_id":54583199367452,"sku":"31080031355360162249","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/chicago-rock-island-and-pacific-railroad-ceramic-coaster-1","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
